Boris Kinkulkin occupies the middle ground between realism and the abstract. His mood swings from lyrical and abstract to openly expressionist, with a fast internal rhythm. According to the artist, “When you look at a landscape, your feelings do not come through your eyes only, but rather from within a wider context -- historical and even symbolic. This is what leads me to an abstract view of a landscape”.

He repeatedly paints his immediate environment - himself, the view from his window, etc., based on a close observation aimed at achieving simplicity on the one hand and freedom on the other. “By continuous contemplation and repeated painting of the same landscapes I hope to create a new reality and find a different dimension that does not exist in the landscape, nor in the color proper.
